growing in the goo

As most of you know (due to me either a) infecting you or b)forcing you to listen to my coughs, blowings and complaints), I've been sick for the past three weeks.

Three weeks! Luckily it's come in stages -

week 1: congestion. blowing nose so much that it cut me.

week 2: scratchy voice, then dry choking coughing

week 3: dry coughing, intermixed with gross coughing, a bit of a sore throat.

I just got called down to the front desk, because I had a package that was labeled "Refrigerate Upon Arrival"

I was puzzled as to what it could be. No one is sending me any organs, that I know of...

I open it up.

My mom sent me a giant tub of chicken soup, a bowl and cookies from grandmaschickensoup.com.

Sometimes she's so nice that it just makes me want to cry. I'm so lucky to have her as a mom, and my family as my family.
